IT HAS been almost a month since Ananda Raja came to stay at Anjung Kelana in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur.

Anjung Kelana is a transformation centre for the homeless, which is a pilot project initiated by Federal Territories Ministry and managed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to home, rehabilitate and transform the lives of people who have been rescued from the streets of Kuala Lumpur.
